Birds  Eye  View  of  Panama-Pacific  International  Exposition  from  Presidio  Heights. 


Fittingly  commensurate  with  the  heroic  achievement  will  be  the  celebration  in  its  honor. 

The  completion  of  the  Panama  Canal  beine  an  accomplishment  affecting  the  interests  of  every  civilized  nation,  the  celebration  thereof  naturally  suggested  was 
a  great  Universal  Exposition  in  which  all  nations  should  participate  under  the  auspices  of  the  United  States.  Congress  designated  San  Francisco  as  the  P'ace  lor 
such  an  Exposition  and  entrusted  to  that  ciiy  and  to  the  State  of  California  the  responsibility  of  providing  for  the  reception  of  the  nations  of  the  world  and  for  the 
housing  of  the  exhibits  which  should  best  demonstrate  their  achievements. 

This  responsibility  was  gladly  accepted  by  San  Francisco  and  California  and  the  work  of  carrying  out  the  duty  to  the  nation  was  begun  immediately. 

In  the  space  of  a  few  days  a  fund  approximating  $20,000,000  was  raised  by  the  citizens  of  San  Francises,  the  municipality  and  the  State  Legislature.  The  fifty- 
eight  counties  of  California  raised  several  million  dollars  additional  for  their  individual  displays,  which  are  on  an  elaborate  scale.  This  was  added  to  by  the  majority 
of  stales  throughout  the  Union  and  materially  augmented  by  liberal  amounts  from  foreign  countries  the  world  over  It  has  been  conservatively  estimated  that  the 
grand  total  will  represent  an  expenditure  exceeding  $50,000,000. 

In  magnificence  and  splendor,  number  of  palaces,  beauty  of  grounds,  number  and  quality  of  exhibits,  diversity  of  subjects,  completeness  of  detail  and  hugeness 
of  the  whole  this  will  be  an  exposition  adequate  to  the  event  it  celebrates.  It  will  have  great  and  lasting  effect  upon  the  trade  relationships  and  commercial 
activity  of  all  countries. 

The  Fxnosition  site  combines  to  an  extraordinary  degree  the  qualities  of  beauty,  adaptability  and  convenience.  It  is  a  natural  amphitheatre,  fronting  on  the 
wondeffuli'^^annotted  ry  of  Ian  F?anc,sco  lusfinside  the  famous  Golden  Gate.  Towering  wooded  heights  flank  ,t  at  each  end  while  at  its  back  the  hills  roll  up 
sharply.    All  this  is  in  the  very  heart  of  the  very  best  residential  district  of  San  Francisco  and  within  hfteen  minutes  street  car  ride  from  the  City  Hall. 

The  view  facing  north  is  across  the  SDarkline  waters  of  the  Bay— a  land-locked  harbor  which  resembles  a  great  mountain  lake  more  than  an  arm  of  the  sea.  It  is 
rimmed  around  by  r^ointafns  with  hlug^^^^^^  over  all.    Under  the  turquoise  California  sky.  drenched  with  sunshine  and  color,  it  is  a  scene  at  once 


exquisitely  beautiful  and  solemnly  majestic 


Altogether  the  spectacle  will  be  interesting  and  wonderful  and  never  to  be  forgotten
